>what makes this new 911 engine so cool is.....they pasted in an electric engine I think you missed the hybrid-electric turbocharger, that's the unique innovation here. >A hybrid car shouldn't even need a transmission---the electric engine should in effect be the transmission Is that your professional opinion as an automotive engineer? >20 years later its beginning to look like a program which had an architecture already obsolete when it first came out, and which is only still working today by ever more baroque workarounds. Motorcycles have been the same IC tech for 100 years and they're still selling like crazy, even expensive ones like Harleys and not electric motorbikes. Similarly to Harleys, I think Porsche knows its customer base. People will buy Porsches and Aston Martins and Ferraris, because they want to hear the vroom and the gear shifts. People who want a fast EV that sounds like a vacuum cleaner will just buy a Tesla anyway.
